Which do people consider more useful for PVP with Stratios, Omnidirectional tracking link, Drone Navigation Computer or 2nd web?

I also read recently that Large Cap Battery was broken for reflecting neuts. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I hadn't thought of duel propBig smile

I've been playing around with a dual rep fit with the thought it gives me greater speed without a plate, and as i fly solo 'maybe' a bit more versatility. For this reason a large faction battery is something I was considering with perhaps a smallcap booster. I realize that may be a waste of a mid/pg but the boost and anti neut if it works may ultimately work as an advantage on this type of fit if facing multiple opponents. I dunno just theorycrafting Roll

You will never fit a large T2 cap battery on it without sacraficing a lot... MAYBE faction but again fit is a pain. I used to run this...

There are several ways to fit a stratios, but it depends on how you fit the lows. Others here have given good advice for different ideas.

As for the large cap battery question, they did not break them for reflecting neuts. it simply adds a "resist" to neuts to you which in the end has the same affect. It is just easier to understand what is happening.

They also changed the fitting and other stats, so they can be more viable now.

I actually played around recently with large cap batteries on pretty much every cruiser in the game as a way to run armor/shield tanks stable with a high amount of neut protection.

End result is it is simply not worth it unless it is a pure bait fit on a HIC (as tackles in the highs).

Chromes fit is solid but i would maintain the deadspace medium rep/ancil combo from your fit and copy his mids. Drop the T2 MWD to meta and switch out two guns for top meta neuts. This is a far better setup imo as the two medium neuts allow you to break stuff you simply would not with his 4 AC variant.

The end result would look something like this.

The large cap boosters are only really considered "Broken" imo on a Capgu. A cheap 1b Capgu can maintain cap stability under 7-8 medium neuts or 4 heavy neuts...All while maintaining near marauder level tank when linked with HG crystals :D
